Security automation · Custom tooling · Agentic SOC
High Burn builds security automation and the custom tooling around it — orchestration, integrations, full applications. If your team does it by hand twice, it can be automated. Principal-level engineering, delivered directly — no bench, no hand-offs, no slideware.
One operating principle — automate everything — held to one standard: automation you can audit, test, and defend in front of your board.
SOAR health checks, custom playbook development, and full platform migrations executed without losing coverage mid-flight.
Full-stack engineering for the tools your vendors won't build: coverage analyzers, analyst consoles, dashboards, and integrations that fit your environment exactly.
AI where it earns its place: deterministic orchestration as the substrate, with agentic enrichment isolated, bounded, and reviewable.
The toil beyond the SOC: reporting, onboarding, ticket flows, data plumbing. If a human does it twice, we script it, schedule it, and monitor it.
Security operations fail at the seams — untested rules pushed to production, playbooks nobody can explain, "intelligent" automation that can't be audited when it matters. The cost of a wrong automated action in a SOC is not an inconvenience; it's an incident.
Orchestration is deterministic by default. Non-deterministic steps — LLM enrichment, agentic triage — are isolated behind explicit boundaries, given bounded authority, and made reviewable by a human before consequential action. Every significant choice is written down as a decision record your team owns after we leave.
Automation you can test before deployment, trace after it, and defend in an audit. Slower to promise, faster to trust.
Every engagement ships with its decision records. If it isn't written down, it didn't happen.
SOAR health checks, automation architecture reviews, agentic SOC roadmaps, and formal decision records. Fixed-scope assessments with written, defensible recommendations.
Custom playbooks, integrations, detection content, and bespoke tooling — engineered, tested, documented, and handed over so your team can run it without us.
Post-deployment firefighting, failing automation programmes, and platform migrations under pressure. Every rescue begins with a no-blame SOAR health check of what's deployed — then we find the seams, fix them, and write down why they failed.
Tell us what's burning. You'll get a direct reply from the principal — usually within one business day — and a straight answer on whether we're the right fit.
